Boys & Girls Clubs of Berrien County


Berrien County and the City of Nashville are thrilled to announce the beginning of construction on the new Berrien County Boys and Girls Club Building. This project is being funded through DCA's Community Development Block Grant with J. Glenn Gregory as architect and Eastern Corporation for primary contracting and construction. This beautiful new building will be used to facilitate Boys & Girls Clubs afterschool activites for the children and youth of Berrien County. Currently, the Berrien County Collaborative, Board of Education, and Boys & Girls Clubs conduct afterschool activities for students in grades Pre-K-12th grade. Constance Thomas, program coordinator stated, "The new building is truly a gift, and the success of this project is directly reflective of the great work being done for kids in Berrien County". The dedication of the County Commission, City of Nashville, Board of Education, and Berrien County Collaborative is a great example of putting others first, dropping personal agendas and working for the good of the community. This new building will be a source of pride for the citizens of Berrien County for years to come.
